Phredgreen: differences in terminology... "dating" is not the same as having a "girlfriend". Dating a LOT is beneficial because you can see what is out there. It gives you multiple points of references for different criteria that you look for in a woman. If you've dated one woman in your entire life, you can't say you have the best thing out there (maybe you do, but you don't know that). You don't find true love. True love FINDS you. I've been in love with three women in my lifetime. I didn't find it... it just happened.
GuttersnipeXL: EASY. If it really is a superficial relationship that you wish to end (ie. < 1 date), you DO just let things go. If after the first date, you don't call the girl back, she'll get the clue you're not interested. Is this mean or immoral? I say no because a woman won't get horribly emotionally attached to you after one date. If it is in fact a more serious relationship, honest is always the way to go. If emotions are involved either on your end or hers, or both, you gotta be honest. Yes, it hurts. Yes, there will be tears. Yes, there might even be resentment. But at least if you're honest, the girl will get closure very quickly. To get over the last guy, there's nothing like the NEXT guy for a woman. If she has closure.. if you can be honest and tell her the relationship is not working for you, she will be able to move on to the next guy.
ReconMike: You're talking about dissing a woman without dissing her??? Why even bother dissing? If it's a superficial, < 1 week relationship, just back off and ignore the womans calls and emails. There's no emotional attachment in such a short period of time... You're not hurting the woman. For longer relationships... see my comment above to Guttersnipe. Honesty works best.
